Extorting a confession by torture is an illegal and criminal act, which means that the police and judicial organs use torture, binding, insult and other means to force a criminal suspect or defendant to admit his so-called crime. In Chinese, the word "extorting a confession by torture" is pronounced as yá n xí ng b and gòng, in which "extorting a confession by torture" refers to forcing a criminal suspect or defendant to confess a crime.
Extorting confessions by torture is a serious crime, which not only violates human rights and legal principles, but also easily leads to misjudged cases and unjust cases. All countries and regions have corresponding laws and regulations prohibiting illegal torture such as extorting confessions by torture. Take China as an example. Article 247 of the Criminal Law stipulates that it is forbidden to extort confessions by torture, beat or ill-treat criminal suspects, defendants and criminals in custody. In addition, China has established a lawyer system and strengthened the legal protection of criminal suspects or defendants.
In addition to the illegal means of extorting confessions by torture, the modern judicial system should also adopt legal investigation and trial procedures to ensure fairness and legitimacy. The following are some common legal procedures and methods:
Inquiry: Inquiry means that the police, prosecutors or judges ask questions to criminal suspects or defendants and conduct investigations to understand the case and evidence.
Search: Search means that the police can inspect and search the suspect's person, residence, vehicle and other items under the authorization of law in order to find out the case.
Arrest: Arrest refers to the police and prosecutors taking suspects or defendants to court for trial according to legal authorization.
Trial: Trial refers to the fair trial of criminal suspects or defendants by the court in accordance with legal provisions and trial procedures.
Lawyer's defense: the defendant has the right to choose a lawyer to defend, and the lawyer can provide legal help and defense for the defendant.
In short, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of defendants and criminal suspects, the modern judicial system needs to adopt legal investigation and trial procedures, such as inquiry, search, arrest, trial and lawyer defense. These procedures and methods can not only ensure fairness and legality, but also reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrong cases.
